Linda Darnell and Tyrone Power in The Mark of Zorro
The Mark of Zorro (1940), directed by Rouben Mamoulian, was one of four films Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell made together and many consider it the best of the four. The movie also stars Basil Rathbone and Gale Sondergaard.
It’s difficult to believe, but Linda Darnell was only 16 years old when she made The Mark of Zorro! So much talent for someone so young.
Both stars died entirely too young. Tyrone Power was only 44 when he died from a heart attack and Linda Darnell was only 41 when she died from burns from a house fire. They have each left us wonderful filmographies, including The Mark of Zorro, one of the most popular and entertaining films ever made.
You can find The Mark of Zorro on dvd (Amazon link) or watch the movie on Prime Video.
